4.1

Question 1

Heat

Answer 1

form of energy that can be transferred through solids, liquids and gases

Question 2

potential energy

Answer 2

energy that is stored inside a material (e.g. heating substance)

Question 3

kinetic energy

Answer 3

energy of movement, particles lose kinetic energy when temp decreases

Question 4

thermometer

Answer 4

contains liquid (alcohol or mercury) inside a glass tube

Question 5

temperature

Answer 5

measure of average kinetic energy of its particles in substances

Question 6

absolute zero

Answer 6

when particles barely move at all, mostly at -273 degrees

Question 7

heat transfer

Answer 7

when heat flows from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature, greater temp difference, the faster the flow heat

Question 8

conduction

Answer 8

heat transfer by vibrating particles (e.g. heat from hotter cup flows into hands)

Question 9

conductors

Answer 9

substances that transfer heat easily

Question 10

insulators

Answer 10

poor conductors of heat and sometimes blocks heat transfer

Question 11

convection

Answer 11

transfer of heat in liquid or gas due to less dense, warmer matter rises and denser, cooler matter falls

Question 12

radiation

Answer 12

how the sun transfers heat energy, transmits heat as invisible waves that travel the speed of light

Question 13

infrared radiation

Answer 13

heat energy transmitted this way, all objects emit (release) some infrared energy

Question 14

sea breeze

Answer 14

cool air that flows from above a body of water

Question 15

land breeze

Answer 15

cool air that flows from the cool land
